I love it when people try to break down the cost of this game into a monthly fee.
First off your math is seriously wrong.

Quote:

GW+GWF= $107, for a year of game

I am sure you meant to say "GW+GWF= $107, for 18 months of game since GW lasted for a year itself before GWF came out and the next one isnt going to be out for (suposedly) 6 months.
And to finish off the subject...
Lets say I bought GW only.
GW=$50.00 for 1 year = $4.16 a month
18 months= $2.78 a month
2 years= $2.08 a month
Then i buy the fourth expansion for lets say $50.
I play that for 1 year so now my "monthly fee' would be $5.55
Not as bad as it seems now is it?
The point is that there are too many variables to actually break down the cost per month like what if you dont play for 6 months? Do you count those months when you figure the costs?

One other thing that bugged me about the original post.

Quote:

No one wants to be sitn around doing the same thing, the game as we all know is repetitive. So we all wait on and buy the expansion. Its NEW, thus we must have it.

Tell this to the MS flight sim community. There is NEVER an expansion released for any MS flight sim and they are released usually about 2 years apart. These guys are die hard about "sitn around doing the same thing", I should know, I am one of them!

Not me, They can suck it!
I could buy a 360, aWii, and some games for that...
Screw Blue Ray,
I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAMES...

360 is basicly just as powerful and easyer to develop for than Ps3...

Their new logo should be PS3,
Pay more for Less!

THIS ENTIRE THREAD WAS A GOOD LAUGH. From the 2nd post until now it's been a unanimous decision by the people that the OP doesn't know what he's talking about. (thus the main reason he hasn't replied since the opening post)

Everyone agree?

AGREED! xD

no point to pay 600$ for a PS3, when u can add alittl eand get a Laptop or a average power PC, and do 5X more

Didn't bother reading all of it.

If this is another one of those posts that say that the new chatpers are the equivalent of a monthly fee then I'll give you the standard answer:

X amount of calculation
Result: GW is still cheaper

There is the error in your logic right there. Anet never said that there was no fee to play the game. Anet did say however that there is no monthly fee. There is going to be a fee to play any retail game. Stop whineing and get a job.

Closed since this thread has degenerated into random flames and off-topicality. As the OP hasn't posted since the beginning of the topic, I assume he's content that he's made his point. Likewise, the responses have very clearly made the counterpoint.
